Rep. Bruce Poliquin's lawyers on Monday filed an appeal of a federal judge's Dec. 13 ruling that ranked-choice voting does not violate the U.S. Constitution.
Rep. Poliquin and three voters in Maine's 2nd Congressional District filed the initial suit on Nov. 13, shortly after Jared Golden was declared the winner.
Poliquin also requested a recount on Nov. 26, which he stopped last week because it appeared the outcome would not change.

Poliquin attorney Lee Goodman released the following statement regarding the appeal filing:
